For context, I have lived in Lausanne for almost my entire life. I work here, studied here, have most of my friends here (I will come back to this) and my family is nearby. I have recently travelled to Copenhagen, and I realized I really crave a big city with more cafés, more cultural events, more international, more tourists (I love meeting people from abroad and tourists) etc… Even though I love Lausanne with all my heart, I feel like it is still way too small for my liking and for the lifestyle I want to have. I feel like every time something interesting happens or comes to Switzerland (whether it be a popup, a concert, etc) it is in Zürich. Lausanne feels pretty « isolated » in this aspect, especially once you finish university. I speak french fluently, my family « migrated » from Zürich to Romandie around 30 years ago, therefore I have an okay base in Swiss german. Quite a few of my friends, and both my best friends, have been moving to Zürich (and I would say that number keeps increasing year after year). My job would theoretically allow me to work in Zürich. I have personally never been a fan of Zürich because of the work-oriented lifestyle, but maybe I just misunderstand the city since I have never lived there. Would you guys say this is the right decision or should I stay in Lausanne? submitted by /u/Chemical-Rush-6433
